Chapter 585: The Seventh Year of Kaiyuan
The seventh year of Kaiyuan!
The Han Dynasty had already experienced five years of stable development. The changes brought about by the rapid development were almost changing with each passing day. Only seven years after the reign title was changed, the Han Dynasty had already become a prosperous era that some old people had never dreamed of.
In the Zhaixing Pavilion, Liu Ying was looking through some documents, all of which were sent by the Grand Herald, and she needed to read them carefully.
"Your Highness, what are you looking up?" Diao Chan asked curiously.
As the chief eunuch of the imperial palace, she had never seen Liu Ying be so active.
"The information sent by the Grand Herald said that several groups of people will come to the court to see me soon. Let me take a look at the information so that I won't be impolite when I come."
Liu Ying was flipping through some documents out of boredom and said this casually.
"Isn't this matter under the general's jurisdiction?" Diao Chan asked in a daze. If she remembered correctly, this kind of diplomatic work should be the responsibility of the general.
"This kind of thing must be left to me to handle. This is also the job my good husband has found for me. It will be very difficult for me to handle political affairs and military affairs if I mess up, but it's okay if I mess up things like receiving foreign guests!"
Liu Ying said with resentment that she was just lying down, but Guo Hao actually gave her something to do, which was really hateful.
However, Liu Ying also knew that although she and Guo Hao had completed the marriage procedures, the Han Dynasty still belonged to the Liu family, so she had to step forward and do something.
She and Guo Hao had agreed that anything that Liu Ying couldn't do, or that would be very troublesome if messed up, would be assigned to Chen Xi and the others.
Some simple things, or things that are not a big deal if they are messed up, will be given to Liu Ying to take charge of, also for the purpose of showing her face.
Normally, the Grand Herald would be responsible for receiving foreign envoys herself, but this time the several delegations were from major countries, so she still had to come forward to receive them.
Anyway, the envoys all spoke nicely and gave her treasures, so it didn't seem so difficult to accept meeting them for the sake of the treasure.
"Eastern Japan? It's the Wa Kingdom granted by Emperor Guangwu, a former vassal state!"
"Kushan? It's the Great Yuezhi from the past, the country that used to be a transit point on the Silk Road. Or is it the official letter from the time of Emperor Wu of Han?"
"They were all our former brothers. When the time comes, we can just give them something in return and establish reasonable diplomatic relations."
Liu Ying briefly summarized her gains and came to a conclusion.
There is no way. Looking at the records, it is either about the enthronement of Wa Kingdom, or the tribute of Dayuezhi, or the Dayuezhi helped the Han Dynasty to pacify the Western Regions or something like that.
A quick glance will show that these two countries are the Han Dynasty's younger brothers. There are many such countries, and Liu Ying alone knows a lot of them.
However, Liu Ying knew that the two countries that could get the Grand Herald to transfer the power to her must have certain capabilities, which is what is commonly known as a wealthy younger brother.
"Hehehe, this time I can replenish my small treasury again!" Liu Ying's eyes were full of small change. She was not short of money, otherwise she would not have been able to build a brand new Zhaixing Pavilion.
As the tallest and most magnificent building in the Han Dynasty, the Star-Picking Pavilion can be called the residence of God.
If this had been made a few years ago, it would have been considered extravagance and would have caused cholera in the world. But now it would have been just a trickle of water.
Anyway, no money from the national treasury was spent. If anyone dares to speak nonsense, I will give you thirty lashes of the cane. What's wrong with a princess spending some money?
After all, the national treasury and private treasury are now clearly divided. What belongs to the state is what belongs to the state, and what belongs to her is what belongs to her.
Many great craftsmen in Luoyang also spontaneously participated in the design and construction. After all, they were quite interested in participating in this kind of building that could be passed down through the ages.
However, Zhaixing Pavilion had directly emptied her small treasury, and now someone was sending her things, so of course she was very happy.
However, Liu Ying didn't know that Chen Xi's so-called budget was completely based on the upper limit of her own piggy bank.
No one knows exactly how much it cost, but it happened to empty the eldest princess's small treasury.
It is a cause for celebration that a large amount of economic funds are circulating in the market.
In addition to Japan and Kushan, there were also envoys from Great Britain, Goryeo, and Australia.
Liu Ying did not find any corresponding records for the next three events, but she knew that Great Britain was ruled by the Queen, and she still had a good impression of her .
Gao Li was simply disgusted. No matter how insignificant she was, it was disrespectful for this country to dare to attack Youzhou. However, considering that they came here to apologize, she could still meet them.
As for the final Australia, she really had no idea about it. The record sent by the Grand Herald did not mention anything, except that the princess was asked to meet once to go through the formalities.
As for communication, that is not a problem at all. Ever since Lu Bu and others developed the method of mental communication, the language barriers between different races have been completely eliminated.
Even the language barriers between different races were eliminated, but that required great mental strength, which she couldn't do anyway.
She still can't communicate with animals, but the awakened Tuanzi can communicate with her with his powerful mental power.
As one of the most honorable people in the empire, Liu Ying's strength has reached the level of internal energy leaving the body. After all, no matter how lazy he is, eating all kinds of internal energy foods every day and being guided by various famous teachers are enough to bring Liu Ying to this level.
Although she might not be able to defeat a soldier with internal energy in a fight, her ability to leave the body with internal energy is still very good, at least she can fly.
"It's decided. We will meet them at the next court meeting!"
After completing the complicated work, Liu Ying made a decision in no time.
Following Liu Ying's order, the officials of the Grand Herald notified the various envoy groups to prepare for an audience with the emperor and explained some rules to them.
Although under the leadership of Chen Xi, the Han Dynasty advocated keeping everything simple and trying to delete some complicated rules.
However, the necessary rules still need to be followed, especially for these foreign envoys, necessary rules still need to be followed.
It is said that these envoys did not expect that, apart from the Kushans who had telepathy and did not have to worry about communication, only Great Britain had close contacts and did not have to worry about communication.
The other delegations had made long-term preparations, learning the language before going to the audience.
After all, no one can understand the national language, so how can we play?
Unexpectedly, the Han Dynasty directly developed a similar method of telepathy, which perfectly solved the problem of communication.
"Can we have an audience with the emperor in three days?" The leading Kushan envoy bowed respectfully to Liu Zhang. After arriving in the Central Plains, they indeed witnessed the prosperity of the Central Plains.
Although I had heard about it from passing merchants, I was still shocked when I actually arrived there.
Especially the towering building, which shocked him even more. There was no such conspicuous building in their country. Just one glance could make people feel shocked.
